NCT ID NCT06920134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study tests a spinal cord stimulation therapy called ARC-IM in 5 people with Parkinson's disease or related conditions who experience severe drops in blood pressure when standing (orthostatic hypotension). The main goal is to check safety, and researchers will also measure whether the therapy helps maintain blood pressure during a tilt-table test. The approach is not a cure but aims to control a challenging symptom.
